Odd question but where to get a mirror and plane of glass for an infinity mirror

werto165

Basically I have an idea similar to this : 

Image result for infinity mirror pc case

to achieve this I need a mirror and a pane of glass, only problem is where do I get those from? Any good sites that you guys are aware of? Not looking to spend too much. This is to attach to the front of the fractal design define r4 door. I have removed it and plan on making a frame for the led's to fit in, so it will be slightly smaller than the front door.

Search around for local shops who cut glass and mirrors

Any idea how much it'll cost approx? I will ring them tomorrow for an estimate tomorrow, if not I guess I could look for something in Ikea that fits the bill.

If it works yeah it will. hoping it doesn't cost too much... I already got the leds pretty cheap 5m strip with 600LED  300LEDs for £10. can't see through them it's the mirror on the back side and a tinted pane of glass on the front. Just an illusion more than anything.

Any glass shop can cut you a piece to any size you like for both parts around the size of a regular front panel like that it shouldn't be any more than $50 that being on the high side already.

oh ok so you're just going to rely on the glass' reflectiveness?

Like this,  http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Infinity-Mirror but I'm not going to use a frame like that trying to see if I can get something done on CAD and either use a laser cutter and acrylic and black that out or 3d printing, acrylic is probably easier but 3d printing will be cooler. Might 3D a logo and then do a strip of LED's around the edge of that logo, not sure on the logo though.
